Calculating a sum

[sdutton]

I've created a simple database to inventory our home belongings for our move. The fields are Item, Description, and Value. I'd like to create a calculated field for the "Total Value", adding together the individual values of all the records. How do I do that?

Create a summary field that equals Total of Value.

Create a summary field that equals Total of Value.

I created a calculation: Sum ( Value ) , but it only shows the total value for a selected individual record, not the total value of all the records.

Create a *summary* field, not a calculation field.

Create a *summary* field, not a calculation field.

Thank you . . . it works!
